PDP Raises Alarm Over Alleged APC Plot
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has raised alarm over alleged plots by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to hijack a scheduled security conference and retreat for Senior Police Officers in Owerri, the Imo State capital, for political leverage ahead of the November 11, 2023 governorship election.
As a result of this, the PDP is appealing to the Acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to move the Conference to another State because the planned hosting in Imo State, is sending wrong signal that the Police is in bed with the APC and Governor Hope Uzodimma who is also a candidate in the governorship election.
Ologunagba said, “Our Party observes that it is inappropriate and against the principle of fairness and neutrality required in a charged election situation as presently existing in Imo State for Governor Uzodimma, the candidate of the APC, to be seen as sponsoring or hosting senior Police officers at this critical period, especially being very close to the election.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, in a statement, in Abuja, on Monday, said the situation is already generation tension in the state.
The PDP therefore cautions that hosting the Conference in Imo State under Governor Uzodimma at this period; just few days to the election, is a recipe for crisis as it is capable of pitching the people of Imo State against security agencies.
“Our Party therefore urges the Acting IGP, as a highly experienced and decorated officer, to save the situation and allay the fears of the people by moving the Conference to another State or to a date after the election, if it must be hosted in Imo State.
